This topic most friendly @ 1024x768 and above, 56k beware.

What's BlazBlue you say?

BlazBlue is a current gen fighting game from the makers of the fantastic Guilty Gear series. It follows Guilty Gear's breathtaking artstyle and amps it up a few notches. As such, it's loud, flashy, and fast. Not for the faint of heart!

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/945/blazbluescreenshotbig.jpg
Yeah, it's kinda like that.

BlazBlue currently has 2 versions out: Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift. Calamity Trigger is old and busted. Continuum Shift? That's the new hotness. Both are available on PS3 and Xbox 360 for your home consumption.

http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/8559/tager1proper.pngThe Wheel of Change is Turning!http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/8496/tager2.png

With a new game comes a new feeling. While Continuum Shift is more like an expansion pack with bugfixes, it also has massive balance changes. Your favorite character from Calamity Trigger may handle much differently now, for better or worse. Be aware that you're going to have to adapt yourself a bit when jumping between the two. Click here (http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4962/1264510788687.jpg) for a chart of some major changes to each character. Link'd for HUGE.

In addition to the balancing act, CS gives us new characters to get training with and learning to hate fighting against. Some are on-disc, others will be coming as DLC (ugh) further on down the line. Get used to these mugs, cause they're here to stay:

Speculation (http://blazblue.wikia.com/wiki/Valkenhayn_Hellsing) seems to be that he'll be a heavy hitter. But he isn't even officially announced so all they have to go on is what was found in the game's files so far.

He's also going toe to toe with our main man for butler of the year:

If its a counter character you want, Hakumen is the guy for you. Plus in CS, his moves can now cut thru projectiles(I can't zone you with lobelias anymore =/). If its priority you want, then Ragna the priorityedge is for you. Rushdown style and high priority, and jesus kick(this one kick beats out every other move in priority).

HAYABUSA-FMW-

Jul 29, 2010, 07:05 PM

Yeah, "let me show you my Hakumanz" seems to have the bonuses for even counter attacking successfully?

And that was only from the story, character description wiki page there.

Origin Space Samurai - Robo-Ky blondey Ragna brother going back in time - 6 legendary warriors crew being completely nonsense though. & see the standing on his ball of the feet, toes stances, Akuma and Bang Shishi-man style there too. But dragon feet boots so he kinda has to.

A good number of the cool things you could do with Matenbou (like 3C> Hold D) can't be done anymore in CS. Ok that's not completely true, Unlimited Litchi can still do them >_>. I think I'll stick with her, but muscle memory from the first game is ruining me D:. Game seems a lot more balanced overall though, which is always good. I'll be playing more often when I have the time. My Gamertag is my sig, if anyone wants to play hit me up.

I'm getting annoyed with online. How the hell am I supposed to practice when there isn't a single beginner room that has actual beginners in it? Rather hard to learn anything when you just get caught in massive combo after massive combo by "beginners". They all need to burn in hell for that. Really.

I can't practice against my brother either, since he just quits after 1-3 games after saying he'll play. Or demands I just act as a punching bag while he tries someone new. Half the time, he picks someone at random to try out, so I can't practice to begin with. (He bitches at me if I actually use someone I've practiced with)

Am I too slow? The dude just ukemi as soon as I'm about to hit him. This is so impossible for me.

I don't think I can even finish even one person all the way to the 10th challenge. I'm so depress. And everyone online seems to be a pro because I only beaten 1 out 10 battles. :disapprove:

yeah they are so damn hard... but still somebody always do them as if he was C-mode AI in online =_=

Oh for that one iirc you have to let all of the spikes hit first then you superjump air combo. if you dont and cancel 6CC to jump right away you wont land the j.C. If your still dropping that combo after that then your doing something wrong. The one after that is pretty easy.

Her distortion looks to be some kind of Mugen-esk attack. I'd be willing to bet that she's a charge character, like Makoto. Charing gives her attacks a bigger hitbox and range, explaining why her...cat missiles cover half the screen. The distortion possibly makes all her attacks the maximum charge.

Also, since they haven't been posted; more Valkenhayn footage!

I see some ridiculous damage coming from the man. In the ASW video he did 4K meterless. Can't wait to get my hands on him. :3

Also also, the translated notes of the first loketest for the balance patch. Keep in mind, ALL of these are present to change. ASW plans to do many more loketests and won't comment on when it will be released, other than sometime in December.

Ragna
Dead Spike makes your opponent fly straight up if you hit them out of the air.
6B+C wallbounces.
5D doesn't float on ground hit. Air hit is just like we know.
5B > 6A doesn't combo.
2B won't connect after 2D.
Inferno Divider doesn't wallbounce unless you're in the corner (where it only wallbounces a bit).
Belial Edge > 5D works in the corner. As always, be quick. [translator: Nothing is said about midscreen, I assume he hasn't seen it.]

Noel
j4D is a low hit.
5D has less invincibility.

Rachel
j2C is cancellable and jump cancellable, even on guard.
6B slides on CH, rush to the corner as fast as you can and you can get a combo.
Lobelia's recovery slower, not CT slow, though.
Wind recovery is sluggish.

Tager
Litchi's jB, immediately done from a straight jump up, won't hit. They change his hit box? (Information from Fio.)
5D pulls your opponent in more.
6A can be charged, but won't pull your opponent in on mid-charge.
6A not jc'able.

Arakune
Only lost a bit of damage.

Litchi
Unarmed 2B > 5B chain. (Can't go into 2B after it.)
Pulling the Mantenbou back during a dash is faster.
Damage decrease.
3C[m] techable on ground.
4D can't be cancelled.
6D can't be cancelled.
623D's second hit (falling Mantenbou) has been speed up. If it hits, 6C won't combo.
All Green is air techable.

Carl
Nirvana recovers a bit slower.

Lambda
5DD's second hit is slower. 5D by itself is hasn't changed.

Tsubaki
6BB reaches further. [translator: Thank you.]
2CC doesn't float much. Just from my gut feeling playing CS so much, 2CC > 5CC would be techable past the first 5C.
jCC > j236D > j214D: The light orb from j236D will hit.
2C can be jc'ed on guard.
214x has increased untechable time? 2A > 5BB > 2BB > 5CC > 214A > 22C > 3C is a Red Beat.
Air throw bounds the opponent, you can follow up pretty easily.
236C236C has more invincibility.
3C is ground techable.
22D wallbounces on CH.

Hazama
Switched Vewlixes on the last day, got 3C to float. (Information from Satsukaishi-sensei.)

[Valkenhayn stuff. Sorry, but can someone else check for changes?]

Other Stuff
Makoto and Litchi's jcc combos seem to be gone. It may be that jcc's are just gone.
Valkenhayn will be changed before his release, it looks like.
The new Vewlixes on the third day seem to have more changes than the others.
Platty is coming!
Look for Nesica BBCS2 cabinets in December!

Also also also, for those of you just starting, keep in mind that Challenge mode is really just hit or miss when it comes to teaching combos. I'd recomend hitting up http://www.dustloop.com/forums/forum.php for some more advanced combos. Just pick your character from the list and check their combo thread.

An Update About Blazblue: Continuum Shift’s Valkenhayn DLC

By Spencer . September 24, 2010 . 12:09am

--

Arc System Works released Valkenhayn, the second downloadable BlazBlue: Continuum Shift character in Japan, this week, but only for PlayStation 3. What’s going on?

First, the Xbox 360 release of Valkenhayn been delayed. Second, the PlayStation 3 patch that enables Valkenhayn also has a bug, Aksys staffer Belisarius explained on the Aksys’ forums. If you use a combination of Ragna and Hazma or Ragna and Valkenhayn during “In Queue Training Mode” while waiting for a ranked match, the game will freeze. Arc System Works is working on a fix, but in the meantime players have to avoid those character combinations after updating Blazblue: Continuum Shift.

Aksys will distribute the Valkenhayn DLC for PlayStation next week on September 28. Please note, you need to install the patch to use the DLC, which will introduce a crash bug.

A release date for the Xbox 360 version has not been announced. <---

And some gameplay.

He looks like a ton of fun :3

Also Valkenhayn's GG costume is confirmed as Slayer, with his reference one being Ganondorf from Legend of Zelda.

Edit: some more matches if the first video blows your speakers.

I need to get more playtime in on this, but its hard to take my ps3 to campus. (For one, my TV there only has component inputs)

Though, I did manage to pull a 9-hit combo with Tsubaki into her astral. That was fun. (Its not even remotely difficult, either, and can probably be started with 236D, making a 10th hit) Sadly, it seems the enemy has to be in astral range at the start of the combo, not when you input the heat.

I loved that PC CT video. We need unlimited forms like that in the next game! I also bought an arcade stick for my 360. I feel like I'm relearning how to play all over again D:! Although halfcircle commands are a ton easier on it. So no more forward D when I want Furinkazan or standing D for Spark Bolto.

Finally, my BlazBlue: Continuum Shift: Limited Edition has arrived.

I have spent last 3 days getting a hang of it.

I'm right now trying to learn Hazama's 623A (Hungry Coils) and 236236B (Serpent's Infernal Rapture)

Still suck at those.

But hey, I Astral Finish'd Rachel in Jin's Arcade Mode with standard controls, so I don't suck so much anymore...I think.

Also, I promised pictures, didn't I?

Be aware that some may be of shaky quality, since I had to use worse of two cameras I have (other being charged up at the moment).
Also, spoilered for bigness. For some reason on this site they're automatically enlarged for some reason.

Jin has one of the easiest Astrals though. Easy input, full-screen range (The only input that's easier really is the 222 ones because there's no charge).

Of course, he can also blow through his heat pretty fast on specials, so it all balances out I guess.

CrimsomWolf

Dec 10, 2010, 03:51 PM

He also has the same 623 moves that I hate.

No matter what, I can't seem to get them to work.

Still trying on double quarter-circles though.

Personally, I think Lambda's Astral would be easier, though it's harder to hit with it, from my experience.

Platinum the Trinity is NOW AVAILABLE! She's on XBL and hopefully on PSN when it comes back! Get out there and LET'S ROCK!

Oh goodie. Too bad I'm on campus sans PS3. And unfortunately, they decided it wasn't worth putting online into the handheld versions... :disapprove:

Nitro Vordex

Jan 6, 2012, 05:03 PM

I don't play BlazBlue, but I'm assuming he means:

Tager can put out some damage, yes. I'll go out on a limb and say his grab combos are not "instant kills;" they probably involve some amount of mixup that can be bested at a higher level of play. On the contrary, Tager doesn't have enough tools to get him into positions where he can use those combos. At a higher level he is lacking (!) and needs buffs to keep him competitive.

"Stop holding back the SCIENCE (read: truth, over-analyzed matchups and discussions) with misinformation (misconceptions due to personal experiences from getting caught up in the mixups)!" is most likely what he meant.

But again, I don't play BlazBlue. That's just an interpretation from general fighting game knowledge and reading the last 3 posts.
You are pretty much correct. I mained Tager for some time, and yes, in terms of low level play he can wreck pretty much anybody. Once you get into the higher levels, however, people have learned to counter him. He severely lacks any kind of getting in move, only through Sledge Hammer and his j.C can he get in reliably. He does have very damaging combos, and his grab combos and resets make him a dangerous counter character. If you mess up again Tager, you can say goodbye to half or more of your HP.

Serephim

Jan 7, 2012, 10:37 PM

Tager is invincible to scrubs and a joke to anyone who actually knows how to abuse the matchup. If you're in his face and you're magnetized, then you're in big trouble no matter what skill level you're playing at.

So yeah, if you do not know how to fight him, you will probably never beat him. He has the ability to turn one screwup into an INSTANT 3k/5.4k damage. If he has meter and a spark bolt charged, he's probably your worst nightmare in the event you actually get caught. Basically, if you're predictable, you're too blindly aggressive, or you just make dumb mistakes (like trying to rush him down on wakeup) then you're going to die the moment he catches you.

Tager's greatest strength is his amazing ability to turn a curb-stomping, one-sided match into a 10-second win for himself. Patience and experience is the key to beating him, plain and simple.

Arc System Works has announced a new BlazBlue title - more than just a revision! Redrawn art, tweaked BGM, new moves for characters, and 3 new characters at that!

Check more details at the link (http://shoryuken.com/2012/08/05/arc-system-works-announces-blazblue-chrono-phantasma-includes-three-new-characters-additional-outfits-updated-moves-and-more/)

The new release will be titled Blazblue Chrono Phantasma.
There’s reportedly a lot that’s been changed in the game. The neutral poses have been redrawn for all the characters, and their costumes are even different. Of course they also have new moves.
Noel has a different weapon and she doesn’t wear a cap this time.
Tsubaki seems to be the version that’s fallen to the dark side.
Hazama has a new DD
The BGMs seems to be different as well
Three new characters will be added in: Amane, Barret(Bullet?), Azrael. Amane fights with something like a cloth, Barret looks a bit like Makoto, Azrael is muscular.

I'm hoping for Jubei to show up as well, the fans want it damnit! I don't care if he's horribly broken and tournament banned like Justice and Kliff.

The pallet swap for Tsubaki seems to suggest she went to the darker side, while Noel... uhhhhhh I don't know what she's thinking showing all that skin. Girl's gonna catch a cold like that.

EDIT: Also, looks like the game takes place in a different location. Oh god I need to get this if only for the story mode.

@Randomness: meh...i can't really argue with that one. ^^;

@SpikeOtacon: same here. i want to see how they are going to wrap this one up.
Winter 2012 is when it comes out. hopefully, the NA version won't take too long!
i'm looking forward to more Ragna and Noel's moments; they are just so cute together! :cat:

EDIT: hmm...someone posted this on another forum. you can see the new characters image.
lol...Bullet is the new boobies lady now. :P

Bullet seems like a nice lady, don't go tellin' her what to do!

I'm just concerned for her safety that's all! Besides, Noel looks like she's starting to get confident about herself, no need to go breaking her self esteem all over again for another game.

nice. hopefully we can finally see the ending this time around. *doubtful*

i dont see Lambda/V-13. i hope they dont remove her because she
was dead. i dont see Kokonoe & Jubei. hopefully they'll add
them later.

talking about that, i can already see that they'll do at least 2 or more game version
of this before showing us the ending...maybe a playable Saya as the final boss.
i bet Saya gonna turn into the next Mu-12...lol. :cat:

EDIT: hmm...Tsubaki only looks like a pallet swap; nothing new to her. is it me or
does Noel wearing less and less clothing each game?! ^^;

Hmm dunno about that Xefi. The original contract when Blazblue came out was just for 3 titled games (of course not including updates). After all this is some of the same people from the GG team who basically didn't finish GG either as far as the story goes haha

Gee, another. Nobody ever saw this coming. Not... I've been skipping a couple expansion(Atleast buying them myself) on purposes because I figured more would be coming. New characters do look decent though. Just hoping the two characters I hate most arn't top tier again. Bang/ Carl.

Carl was only top tier if you fought one of the...five people who probably played him.

Tager has an actual body slam. I need this, like now. Noel's lookin' pretty fly. Bullet, you're gonna poke someone's eyes out with those things. I saw Kokonoe in there, but I didn't see Jubei. I NEED HIM AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER. >:|

I'm gonna totally play Bullet. >_>

I haven't played BlazBlue in a long time. I've been playing my Guilty Gear XX:AC on my PS2 recently. I haven't played Continuum Shift yet though. I love Noel's new outfit. and she let her hair down too. ^^

[SPOILER-BOX] the name Phantasma made me think of Armored Core: Project Phantasma.[/SPOILER-BOX]

Of course you would be the one to defend her xD
Not that im complaining 8'D

And on a slightly less on topic approach
Persona 4 Arena is coming out, made by the people who made Blazblue/Guilty Gear
Im not gonna get it until I play Persona 4 Golden Edition though.

Arc System, yes. Well, either way prepared for DLC or expansions up the rectum. Clinche your buttcheeks like no other, because they want to squeeze out everything you have.

In modern day fighting, there is no real 'good' place to start. All games to have their complexities that will bewilder those who are new. All I can really say is, your best bet is to stay away from (Ultimate) Marvel Vs Capcom 3. It is a great game, but really not all that friendly fresh meat. Unless you like feeling violated, then by all means. Walk backwards naked through the UMVC3 cornfield.
